That was my typo, sorry! 

In reality it was kernel-source-2.4.21-151.src.rpm, the same version as
the binary kernel. But it was the *src.rpm - and that was my former
mistake.

Now I am sure that I did not. :-)

Thanks for the hint. By the way: kernel-source-2.4.21-151.i586.patch.rpm
is not needed, is it?

Yeah, you are right. It's a bit confusing: a binary of the kernel
binary, a binary of the kernel source, a source of the kernel source -
all these are different files.

Bye,
